I create a custom theme simply with my titles, a consistent white background, and sometimes with my logo or my
client’s logo.

4. Use More Images and Less Text.

Instead of unreadable text, use an eye-catching image and less text

Want to quickly improve a tired slide deck? Make your images larger and reduce the text. Remember the theme in
this post is your slides should add to your speech – not distract the audience away from you.

We know our brain can process images some 60,000 times faster than text – using a large image gets your point
across quickly, without being a distraction. And a short list of brief bullets helps your audience follow your
argument – nothing more.

5. Tell one story per slide

In a sixty-minute lesson, have 30-35 slides, depending on stories you are telling or complexity of the message. Each
slide represents a complete story. You might be presenting statistics (sparingly), recalling an experience that leads
to a lesson, or teaching a lesson.

But you should always stick to one story per slide.

6. Reveal one bullet at a time.
